| Agent USA | Scholastic (Tom Snyder Productions) | 1985 | This is a boot loading game that does not require an operating system be running on the computer (the disk provides its own). It only needs an 8088/8086 IBM-PC or compatible computer. You play Agent USA as he attempts to eradicate the FuzzBomb epidemic. He must grow the only cure for the FuzzBomb, crystals, that replicate only when laid still outdoors. Since they cure the infected (FuzzBodies), they extremely valuable to the average citizen that does not want to be infected. They are likely to be stolen while replicating. If a citizen or Agent USA are holding crystals when touched by a FuzzBody, a crystal is destroyed rather getting the infection. Agent USA can block or push citizens to protect his crystal farm. Additionally, a FuzzBody is cured and becomes a normal citizen if they touch (and break) a crystal. Agent USA will be traveling the US via trains. Fuzzbodies will be spreading the infection in the mean time. And the original FuzzBomb is located in one of the infected cities. The ultimate goal is to find the source, the original FuzzBomb, and drop 100 crystals on it. This is an edutainment game that introduces train scheduling, ticket buying, geography, time zones, and epidemic spread.***Not really a DOS game as it wasn't installed or required no O/S to be installed on the PC. It's a so called "PC booter" game. | labelimagesubject |
| The C.H.A.O.S. Continuum | Creative Multimedia | 1994 | The year is 2577 and everyone on the Titan colony has suddenly disappeared. The station lies empty and hulking with the exception of a few automated robots which patrol the halls. The sentient computer C.H.A.O.S. is resisting any attempt at interface from the outside. You must take an advanced EVA pod, the Time Pod and shifting through dimensional rifts arrive at the Titan station to determine what went wrong. Use the probe's interfaces to gain access to computers, databanks and whatever else it will take to crack the access codes on the labs and C.H.A.O.S. itself. The game is presented in a standard first-person adventure, with pressable controls for movement and a center window into the world you explore. Most interface with the world is shown through MPC and Quicktime "live-action" video segments. Arrow Controls are provided for movement as well as a targeting/fire key, a 360 degree view button for any area. | labelimagesubject |
